It was 5C at 6am this morning (coldest morning of the year I think) so it does get a bit chilly but to get that cold, the sky must be cloudless so it will get up to around 21C with blue skies today. The Brisbane winter isn't very harsh but it's not exactly Amazonian either so no Discus in the pond...

Only suggestion I would have to that awesome rainbow tank is some increased water flow at the front. Rainbows love a surf

@KeepingFishSimple 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching

@donmoyle806 2 жыл бұрын

Water flow is slow/even across the whole tank courtesy of a DIY spray bar I made from black poly-pipe. The spray bar kind of disappears into the black background I put onto the rear glass so you can't see it. It's a bit of a trade-off in a CO2-injected tank. Too much turbulence at the surface accelerates off-gassing of the CO2. I also need a wide/general flow to deliver nutrients to the plants evenly. It's a fair point on those rainbows. They are not really the right fish for that kind of tank but I don't want to hurt their feelings :-)

That setup is insane. I am now changing my pond into a plant craze and with some more exotic fish. Thanks Don. But I don’t know how he was able to catch out any of those fish out of either pond. When he was breeding neons and. Catching swordtails and paradise fish. Just amazing. But I’m also scared for him about his fish jumping out the rimless rainbow tank. It is cool to see how fish breed when they are in a natural habitat and also when they are given the correct patience. Noice!!

@donmoyle806 2 жыл бұрын

I don't test regularly (any more) but KH is around 3 - 4 degrees and PH is calibrated (via CO2 injection) to run around 6.5 giving me around 17 - 25ppm CO2. I keep an eye on PH via the permanently-installed PH probe but for other water chemistry, at this stage I only test rarely if I think something looks wrong (can't remember when I last did this). Hope this helps.
